This is just the intro 🙏

There isn't a > available yet, but you can always count on the reliable folks over at ESPN or Fox Sports to pick things up

Jonathan Booth5, you still around? 🙏

There's a broadcast on

If you mean the practice sessions, check ABC or just find a recording on one of the satellite channels.

There should be a broadcast on

If you're looking for the practice sessions, like I mentioned before, you can catch them on ABC, or maybe find a recording on one of the satellite channels.

I really need to get my satellite dish back up and running ASAP, haha.

I am consistently impressed by how NBC manages both the qualifying sessions and the race coverage so seamlessly.
I’m personally bracing myself for a few celebratory drinks, at least four safety cars, and the inevitable heartbreak of seeing at least one McLaren mess up. Otherwise, this whole thing should be a cakewalk for them.

I’m calling it now: it’s gonna be a total disaster for McLaren, and there's zero chance Robert Kubica is stepping onto that podium. ☕

What an intro 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
nice job 🙂

this has to mean the race will be even better than the last one😁

I’m expecting total carnage—collisions, favorites dropping out, and the top 10 teams all crashing out. Basically, I'm rooting for Chandok to win by default when everyone else's cars just give up on them.🤣

That was a hell of an opening, man! 🙏

When it comes to Canada, my expectations are always high. 👍 I’m looking for plenty of overtakes, constant shifts in the order, maybe even a few drivers flying off into the championship wall, and some unpredictable weather patterns to throw a wrench in things...

Ultimately, I’m hoping for a finish that keeps this championship title race anyone's guess. And naturally, I’m pulling for a solid result from Renault. 🙏

Damn soccer and whoever came up with it

Just blame Canada, blame Canada...
😁

Joe, what's that supposed to mean? It's not like you actually hate the English.😲

silvercobra68 said:damn soccer and whoever came up with the whole idea

I have to agree with you, even if I'm doing so reluctantly.🙄

I’m half-expecting our moderator to dock 20 points from the PDF Cars moderator just because the images in the opening post were way too large.🙂

As for the race in Canada, I am expecting a lightning-fast Red Bull with McLaren right on their heels. Ferrari looks like a total disappointment this year, and Mercedes is stuck in the same boat, though perhaps the Renault teams might actually challenge for the top spots. As for everyone else? I expect them to be trailing by at least a full lap, if not three.

The idea that the English invented soccer is nothing more than a myth. In reality, they gave us polo, cricket, golf, fox hunting, tennis, and things like that.

Soccer was probably invented by some ancient nomadic tribes kicking around a bundle of rags. Honestly, you see people in places like Morocco or Pakistan playing it in their backyards too—just a scrap of cloth, some dirt, and they're happy as can be.

The English used to be built a little differently—real old-school types. In the morning, they’d saddle up a horse, call over a few buddies, and head off into their private woods to hunt a couple of foxes just to serve up some meat for dinner. Then, by the afternoon, they’d grab a golf club and spend the rest of the day hitting balls around their own private estates.

Soccer used to be a game for the poor—people who didn't own a private field, just some shared patch of dirt that usually smelled like chicken manure and was constantly covered in dust. But since our miserable planet is infested with simpletons, this cursed "soccer" thing has spread like cancer across the entire globe, metastasizing until there’s no cure left. It's terrifying. Now, what do we have? Twenty-two uneducated idiots, fifteen of whom were imported from third-world countries, chasing a ball around. After the match, they go hang out with models, who are also uneducated. Then they get married and have kids who are equally uneducated. The people watching think this is all "totally cool," and everything goes to hell. Then, they strip formal education away from their own children and send them out to kick a ball—which used to be nothing more than a bundled-up rag—hoping their own kid can pull them out of poverty and misery. Sometimes it actually works; a young player moves to Europe, makes a fortune, and feeds an entire village. Everyone is happy, everyone cheers, and that's how the cycle continues. It's a cancer, call it whatever you want, but it's going to ruin us. That's all I've got to say.

man, what an intro 🙏
stupid football 😠
I'm actually rooting for rain 👋
really expecting a Hamilton-Webber or Button-Vettel collision 🤣 😂

No broadcast on ABC!?!?! 😲

Good grief... 🙄

And then there's the whole mess with the Fernando Alonso vs. Adrian Sutil performance gap 😬 🙏

🙂 🙂
give me a break—Alonso is totally going to win in Canada. 😳 🙂 😵

most wins (driver) Michael Schumacher (7)

Well, finally. It’s about time we saw the old man on the podium. 😁

PS. That opening deserves a red card and a 30-point penalty. ☕

Budweiser. 🤮
Forget Labatt or Molson, those guys are out here pushing this American garbage instead! 🤦

Anyway, what a legendary track... easily one of my all-time favorites. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Personally, this was easily one of my top 3 races of the whole season 🙏
